You can't argue with death Can't break a burly sailor's neck You can't drink lava from plastic glasses And you can't influence the masses Can't tune a radio to heaven You can't live seven lives You can't win money at the horses And you can't fight the armed forces Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Let's go to bed You can't feed the hungry Can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey You can't ban the bomb And there's no way to stay calm You can't sue Buddah for libel You can't rewrite the Bible You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth And yan't put your finger on the truth Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Let's go to bed Ooh, uhuh And you can't influence And you can't influence And you can't influence Mmm, let's go to bed You can't sing underwater You can't have the boss' daughter You can't make missles out of mud You can't purify bad blood You can't feed hungry You can't pretend to have fun You can't read a robot's mind Can't expect vultures to be kind Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Shake your head Let's go to bed Let's go to bed Ooh, let's go to bed
